摘要:
The present application relates to a system for irradiating a target (1), including a particle accelerator (10) configured to at least emit an irradiation beam (11) according to an axis, a target-holder mounting (20) outside the accelerator, including at least one port (21) configured to receive a target holder (22) for a target to be irradiated, and a radiation-protection enclosure (30) surrounding the target-holder mounting (20). The particle accelerator (10) is positioned outside the enclosure (30). The target-holder mounting (20) is stationary relative to the particle accelerator (10). The port (21) is offset relative to the axis of the irradiation beam (11) and the system (1) includes a deflection device (40), positioned in the radiation-protection enclosure (30) and configured to divert the irradiation beam (11) towards the port (21) of the target holder (22) in which the target to be irradiated is inserted.

The invention comprises an X-ray method and apparatus used in conjunction with charged particle radiation therapy of cancerous tumors. The system uses an X-ray beam that lies in substantially the same path as a charged particle beam path of a particle beam cancer therapy system, has an elongated lifetime, and/or that is synchronized with patient respiration. The system creates an electron beam that strikes an X-ray generation source where the X-ray generation source is located proximate to the proton beam path. By generating the X-rays near the proton beam path, an X-ray path that is essentially the proton beam path is created. Using the generated X-rays, the system collects X-ray images of a localized body tissue region about a cancerous tumor, which are usable for: fine tuning body alignment relative to the proton beam path and/or to control the proton beam path to accurately and precisely target the tumor.

The invention includes a beam irradiation means (2) which radiates a line scanning beam (L), an irradiation position sensor (11) which detects an irradiation position of the line scanning beam, an arithmetic processing circuit unit (13) which measures the stationary time of the line scanning beam at the irradiation position detected by the irradiation position sensor, and an irradiation control unit which performs scanning control of the line scanning beam by utilizing the irradiation position measured by the irradiation position sensor and the stationary time detected by the arithmetic processing circuit unit. According to this line scanning apparatus, scanning control of the line scanning beam is performed by utilizing the irradiation position of the beam and the stationary time corresponding to the irradiation position, so that irradiation of the beam to an erroneous position or excessive irradiation of the line scanning beam can be more reliably prevented, and thereby the reliability of the line scanning apparatus can be improved.
